Fitzpatrick ready for second start

Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has one start under his belt this season, and he was slow out of the gate.

He expects to be sharper from the start on Sunday at Seattle, when he’ll step in again for an injured Jake Locker.

“Obviously I had a tough start,’’ said Fitzpatrick, who went 5-of-14 for 31 yards in the first half against the Chiefs. “But I got more comfortable as the game went on.

“But the more we work together, the better we’ll get. There’s definitely a better comfort level this week than there last week, just because I have been through it now for a week.”

Fitzpatrick finished 21-of-41 for 247 yards and a touchdown as the Titans lost 26-17. He also threw two interceptions. This week he faces the NFL’s sixth-ranked defense.

“We have faced a lot of tough defenses so far, and this is just another big challenge,’’ Fitzpatrick said. “They fly around and they have a lot of speed, a lot of good players. We have to go in and make the plays when they are presented to us.”
